Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by fredN Good flooring adhesive
This is good adhesive for engineered hardwood floors. Work time is fairly short so we did one "row at a time". Work in time is about 20 minutes. Use a 1/4 "V" trowel as recommended, and applied over wood sub.
This product is- very- sticky, but if you wipe it up from the top of the wood surface right away with a wet rag, it will come right off. But - If you wait until it dries, it will be tougher (we used goo-gone to get it off after it dried). That worked fine.
We were able to get about 200 sq ft of coverage per this 4 gallon bucket, again, with the 1/4 inch "V' Trowel.
Floor was walkable after drying overnight and looks great. No loose boards and good coverage.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by RustyShackleford Easy to use and clean up
Pros:
+20 min open time
+EASY to clean up
+Easy to spread
Cons:
-4 gal = 150 sqft on 1/4x1/4x1/4" V-trowel (claim 185-220)
-gets on EVERYTHING
-VERY sticky
In all, it was a good product that was easy to work with. The guy that claims only 50 sqft must have a different floor type and using a different trowel. I had 3/8" engineered and it it lasted about 150 sqft. Could be my technique, I'm no pro.
TIP: cover all your tools in painters tape. THEY WILL GET STICKY. just peel tape off and you're 90% clean.

Do it yourself project, first attempt at this type of job. Room apx 13 x 11. Used product over concrete slab. It can be messy but that would be the case with any adhesive. Fearing that adhesive would dry up before I laid the Enginereed Hardwoor, I started with 4 rows of 3 inch planks and snapped a line of 12 inches. No problem at all and before the job was complete, I was up to 6 rows. I feared clean up of planks but was surprised to see that mess on wood could be removed with water if done as you go along. Spots I noticed later removed easily with mineral spirits. Room came out beautifu. The trick I learned is to have all your starter boards pre cut and your ending boards the same. Also, I had left over adhesive that was fine when I began Room #2. Loved the product for now but the real test will be a few years down the line.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by hwao The only glue of this type that I have used.
Good technique required--work small areas @ a time; keep tools & work area as super clean at all times; keep flooring grooves & tongues as free of glue as possible; work quickly but very carefully; pre-layout flooring.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by ChicosMomma Wood floor brought basement to life
When my husband decided he wanted to have wood floors installed in the "man cave", I was a bit hesitant. I wanted nice, plush carpeting but he was going for a sleek, classy look. Really looks high end. The floors are down and they look great! It's a durable product that has made the man cave welcoming to the whole family.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by 1pfieffer1 Works well, easy troweling, easy cleanup.
Overall good product. Easy to work with and trowels easily. Consistency is like thick mayonnaise. Cleanup with water when wet, rubs off skin when dry or use adhesive remover.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Roadracer1 Does what it says it will.
Coverage was good if you use the right trowel. A little too thin which makes it harder to control when you are close to your last installed edge. (I tend to be sloppy, my wife agrees) Tack is good. I would buy again.
